Reeffiltration LED's

[Bosco83]

Just got them installed this weekend.

All on

Blues only

How I mounted them

So far I'm really happy with them the only problem is I had to turn my heater up and turn my vent fans on my hood to the lowest setting

Thanks Krish!

yeah, that does look awesome!!!
And I know luke will take care of you...
I'm sure he gave you the run down on
the acclimation...
the only criticism I have is how the power cords go out the top of the LED modules,
but I suppose you could by power cords that are bent 90* if it bothered you.

Watch for coral bleaching! I've been reading a lot lately, of people switching over to LEDs, without installing them high enough, and experiencing a lot of bleaching. I've even read where people switched from 2X250, at 12" off the water, installing 2 of the same LED systems, at 24" off the water, and still had bleaching issues.

Looks good. I just switched to LEDs myself and love them. I have mine mounted 16" or so off the tank and mine are dimable and have mine at half power right now. Mine are 10x3w Cree blue and 10x3w Cree white. 3 units replacing 3x250w hqi's. Keep us posted on your results.

Yea I don't really like the cords coming straight up either good idea on the 90 degree plugs. These fixture's have 3 watt epistar LED's driven to 2 watts.

This is what I'm doing for light acclimation eggcrate with a few layers of screen material.

Don't make fun of my fan mounting skills either lol! I was in a hurry and then I didn't wan't to drill new holes to make them perfectly centered.

Looks good Brian. What size tank are they over? It looks bigger than the 90gal you have listed in your signature.

 

[Bosco83]

Sorry it took me like an hour to figure out how to change my signature line. It's a 210g I just got set up in March.

I just started using evolution leds on my illuminata. SO far the coral looks great! I've heard people say that there acans don't look as good. I have had nothing but great results.
